There’s been so much that I want to say this summer and especially in the last month, but I have just been wanting to hold onto all of the moments for awhile before blogging about them. This summer went by in such a whirlwind that I barley had time to think about all the recipes I wanted to create and all …
Lake Powell Recap
If you’ve never been to Lake Powell you must know that the pictures can’t come close to the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you there. The sheer magnitude of the rocks that surround the lake is impossible to scale in a picture. In some spots they are probably hundreds of feet tall and looking up to the top can make you feel …
Lazy Summer Squash
In case anyone is concerned, I survived my Bachelorette weekend over Memorial day! I realize I have been MIA since then, but don’t fear I am alive and well. It took me a few days to get over the champagne hangover but I have recovered. To say the most cliche thing possible, it was the most incredible weekend I could’ve ever …
Shrimp & Veggie Kebabs with Pineapple BBQ Sauce
Memorial Day is quickly approaching and that means… SUMMER IS HERE! With that, grilling season! Even though we grill all year round, summer is just meant to sit out on the patio, pop open a cold beer (or sangria, vodka, cider…) and fire up the grill! It must be the Hawaiian in me, but I think everything tastes better on a …
Mango Chia Seed Pudding
You guys. This recipe is not only refreshing and tasty it’s extremely EASY. It really couldn’t be easier. I mean unless you had a robot to do it for you, but we are a few years out from that I think… Springtime in Colorado has left a lot to be desired. We are used to rainy Springs, but this year …
Honey Ginger Shrimp Stir Fry
This stir fry has ALL the veggies. Everything but the kitchen sink, to be exact. I have a tendency to overdo it a little bit with vegetables…is that a problem? I like to make meals that are all in one pot and with stir fry I think the more veggies the better… After all of the Mexican food that I’m …
Green Chili Goat Cheese Dip
This goat cheese dip is rich and creamy just like traditional queso. It has a deep flavor from the goat cheese and is balanced perfectly with the addition of the sweet coconut cream. Being dairy free one of the things I miss the most is cheese. Not only that, I love going out to restaurants and getting a good appetizer …
Smoked Coffee Lime Chili
Colorado got buried with snow this past weekend… anywhere from 12 inches in the metro area to over 50 inches in the mountains! In Parker (Southeast Denver) where I live we got around 2 feet of snow. I had to make some chili since we were snowed in all weekend and this recipe is warm, filling and has a deep roasted flavor from …
Easy Sunday Morning Frittata
Everyone needs a good breakfast on Sunday morning. Whether you’re nursing a hangover, need something to eat with your mimosas or have errands to run, this frittata is a great start to the day. Frittatas are one of my favorite things to make for breakfast because they are so easy. Most of the time I just throw together whatever combo of …
Chicken Bacon Alfredo with Zoodles
This Alfredo will change the way you think about pasta forever. I apologize in advance, but you will never want to buy canned Alfredo sauce again! (I’m not really sorry) Say goodbye to the canned version that may be thick but doesn’t pack much flavor. This Alfredo sauce is a dairy and gluten free spin on the original with the robust flavor combination …
